For the Birch - Lisa Loeb

They bought it for the birch, then the birch was gone

She planted daffodils, life goes on

They almost lost it all when the winter came

She started over, seasons change

Looking at her picture, I can almost hear her saying

She’d say

«Kick off your Mary Janes and your coat and gloves

And hang your hat, it doesn’t matter where

Come sit beside me, and we can talk about it»

Wish that I could go back there

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

When I lose my way, I lose my light

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

What would she say to me tonight?

Some days you’re out of focus, sometimes you can’t explain

There’s a bigger picture outside the frame

When you’re too stuck in it, you can’t see beyond it

Take a slow minute, remember life goes on

Kick off your Mary Janes and your coat and gloves

And hang your hat, it doesn’t matter where

Come sit beside me, and we can talk about it

Wish that I could go back there

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I lose my way, I lose my light

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

What would she say to me tonight?

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I lost my way, I’ve lost my light

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

What would she say to me?

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I lost my way, I’ve lost my light

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

What would she say to me?

Kick off your Mary Janes, your coat and gloves

And hang your hat, it doesn’t matter where
